Copenhagen / Copenhague / Denmark

This picture of the harbour of Nyhavn was taken last january in Copenhagen (kobenhavn). Nyhavn is a great tourist place, very famous (one of the symbol of the city) with many bars and restaurants. You can consider the place like a monument of Copenhagen. The townhouse are very colored. I recommend you to visit the city!
Nyhavn is a 17th century waterfront, canal and entertainment district in Copenhagen, Denmark. Stretching from Kongens Nytorv to the harbour front just south of the Royal Playhouse, it is lined by brightly coloured 17th and early 18th century townhouses and bars, cafes and restaurants. Serving as a "heritage harbour", the canal has many historical wooden ships.
Nyhavn was constructed by King Christian V from 1670-73, dug by Swedish war prisoners from the Dano-Swedish War 1658–1660. It is a gateway from the sea to the old inner city at Kongens Nytorv (King's Square), where ships handled cargo and fishermens' catch. It was notorious for beer, sailors, and prostitution. Danish author Hans Christian Andersen lived at Nyhavn 18 for some years.
Nyhavn est un canal du centre de Copenhague dont le nom signifie nouveau port en danois. Il est caractérisé par les vives couleurs des maisons qui le bordent. On y trouve l'ancienne maison de l'écrivain Hans Christian Andersen, des bateaux amarrés que l'on peut visiter presque en tout temps ainsi que plusieurs lieux d'exposition.
À son embouchure on rejoint le Syhavnen, cours d'eau qui traverse Copenhague. La rue Toldbodgade franchit le canal environ à ses deux tiers.
